A story of a family from Michigan, USA who traveled to Egypt for work.....served, laughed, loved....thrived thru the Egyptian Revolution....and then returned to Michigan after the job ended abruptly due to economic conditions.

*Ah* so very comforting!

the smell of a lawnmower engine

chilly ears in the morning

cold drippy noses after sunset

riding in a friend's car laughing and listening to music

having full conversations with people in your neighborhood

a shower every day in relatively clean water that's also warm

watching children learn and excel at the English language

seeing lightbulbs pop on brightly for 3rd grade math at home

hearing detailed girly stories after preschool

a wide variety of experiences can be so very comforting no matter where we are.....this is my list from this week (however not exhaustive).......all gifts from our Creator. May you know of such comfort today, my friends!

What amazing blessings, big and small, the Lord sends us every day! We count your family as a blessing, too. Thanks for letting us keep up on your adventures and the work that God is doing around the world. Love to all!
